Turning Waste into Care

Since June, Low Cost Bins has been helping Hospice Whanganui reduce refuse costs – allowing more funds to go directly into patient care. Their partnership also helps the community give quality, reusable items a second life through a dedicated drop-off bin at the Whanganui Re:Sort Transfer Station. Every load saved from landfill helps support free, compassionate hospice care for patients and whānau. 🌿
